Anders Borg takes over LKAB: May be forced to close mine

About 100 people had gathered in a snowy Luleå when the mining giant held a general meeting on Thursday afternoon. The interest was great and the election of Anders Borg as chairman has stirred up emotions.

The union’s representative on the board has expressed concern in SvD that Borg does not know the mining industry well enough. In addition, opinion leaders in the media industry have been surprised that Anders Borg has been given a new top job after his efforts on Viaplay’s board, where he has sat since 2018. The streaming company was close to bankruptcy last year and the stock fell wildly, 97 percent.
